Fruto

Very juicy, very tender and melting, harmoniously fine wine-acidic, mildly sweet and delicately spiced.

Crecimiento

Initially moderate to strong growth. Fruit wind-firm until tree ripeness, then dropping.

Rendimiento

Cropping starts mid-early and later becomes high and regular.

Observaciones

For orchard, garden and espalier up to 350 m; as espalier also worthwhile at 350-450 m. Widely plantable on warmer, sheltered, well-aired sites; on light sandy soils supply nutrients and water regularly. Tree-ripe late September to early October, ready to use October, keeps 3-4 weeks.

Cuidados

On sandy soil feed and water evenly; harvest in time, as the fruit drops after tree ripeness.
